Chapter 1655: No Way Out
As they were rus.h.i.+ng to the Palace through the secret pa.s.sageway, in the Palace, Feng Sanyuan and Su Xi who were forced into desperation stood in embrace. Under the strong pressure and force of the strong exponents, in addition to their blood flowing from their injuries, they were barely able to withstand the attack from the strong exponents.
“Leave quickly!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The sounds of shouting could be heard. Zhao Yang’s parents had rushed towards the two Celestial Strong Exponents and in an instant, huge sparks burst from their bodies. The two Celestial Strong Exponents only frowned slightly at this and waved an air current that blocked them.
The sparks were accompanied by a loud bang and huge rays of light and flames burst out suddenly. Just as the immortal cultivators raised their sleeves up to cover their eyes from the flames, Feng Sanyuan and Su Xi left quickly.
Zhao Yang’s parents had disintegrated into thin air along with those sparks and flames. Until their death, they still tried to create a chance of survival for Feng Sanyuan and Su Xi.
They were ghost cultivators after all, they had been dead for a long time. Now they were able to use their lives in exchange for their Masters and relatives to have a chance of survival. It was worth it to them.
When the Celestial Strong Exponents raised their eyes and looked, they realised that the two people who were in front of them were no longer in sight. At that, they sneered: “Two ants want to escape from beneath our feet? Is that even possible?”
One of the Celestial Strong Exponents used his spirit intent and said to the two of them: “They have gone to the Palace. The two of you go and take care of them, we will go back and report.”
“Yes.” The two Early-Stage Celestial Strong Exponents responded, then raised their breaths and swept forwards while the others turned and left.
There were only two of them, they wouldn’t be able to create much problems, nor would they be able to escape the clutches of Celestial Strong Exponents. The order they had received was to destroy the Palace and kill all the people in it. All that was before their eyes was only corpses, once they had taken care of the two of them, their job would be completed.
Su Xi a.s.sisted the injured Feng Sanyuan as they swept forward. She was exhausted and barely able to support the both of them. Along the way, blood had oozed from her wound and left a trail on the ground.
“Husband, hold on, you must hold on…” She didn’t know what to say. She was distraught and just kept telling him to hold on over and over again, but really, she was also telling herself the same thing.
“Su, Su Xi, where is Ye’er?” Feng Sanyuan asked weakly and blood emerged from his mouth. If it hadn’t been for Su Xi, he was afraid he wouldn’t have been able to walk at all.
“He’s fine, he’s very safe.” Su Xi said in a low voice as she struggled to support him. She just knew that even if they couldn’t escape, they could not give up and await death.
Though they could see the Palace before their eyes, flames had emerged and surrounded the whole Palace. There was no way to escape, be it front or back. She stood there blankly and fell into despair.
“There’s no way out… Sanyuan, I don’t think we can escape.”
She murmured. They were surrounded by fire on three sides and there were two Celestial Strong Exponents chasing after them, how could they escape? Where could they escape to?
“Su, Su Xi, I’m sorry, I failed to protect, protect you, and I let you come with me…”
“Bang! Bang!”
Before he was able to finish speaking, the both of them were knocked violently by the Celestial Strong Exponents. Blood spurted from their mouths and they flew out like a pair of broken kites. They were plunged into the flames of the Palace in front of them and fell motionless on the floor, as if they were dead…
